Minami Restaurant

Minami follows the pioneering footsteps of sister restaurant, Miku for introducing the Aburi style or flame seared technique to Vancouver’s thriving sushi scene in 2008. Each piece of sushi is flame seared using a blowtorch and bamboo charcoal, giving it a smokey, melt in your mouth aroma. Aburi sushi requires no soy sauce or wasabi, as the chefs create specialty sauces using non-traditional Japanese ingredients to complement the flavor properties of each variety of fish. From the kitchen, seasonal and regional ingredients, as well as Ocean Wise seafood options are integrated into dishes to reflect the diversity of responsible food choices. Traditionally trained Japanese chefs are inspired by global flavors and cutting edge techniques to create a new style of cuisine.

Forage. Casual, comfortable and affordable, Forage celebrates all things BC.

Forage

The menu is locally focused in both food and drink; service is attentive yet never fussy, and its approachable West End location makes forage a local's "local". It's an ideal destination for breakfast seven days a week, brunch on weekends and nightly for dinner. Chef Chris Whittaker's vision features dishes that are unpretentious and innovatively prepared using products sourced from local and organic farmers, fishers and producers whenever possible. These combine for a menu featuring snacks such as "crackling & popcorn", a variety of creative "boards" and "irons" to share; tasty "plates" to nosh on together or enjoy solo as a main; and desserts for a sweet (and a bit savoury) finish.

Since opening in November 2012, Whittaker has let his award-winning culinary imagination be inspired by the terroir he loves to explore. The beverage philosophy of forage mirrors that of the food; eclectic, inspiring and local.
